Photos: Houston kids’ first day of school

It’s the most magical time of the year: when the kids load up the backpack, load up the bus and finally, finally, leave the house quiet for a few hours. Yes, you’ll miss all that noise and the numerous proclamations of, “I’m bored,” (the most boring words a kid can ever utter). But for now, rejoice! The kids are gone, for a little while.

And in the meantime, email me your kids’ back-to-school photo at francisca@momhouston.com. I’ll take some of the best shots and publish them here for all your friends and family to see.
